Orange High School is a school with so much potential. The faculty and staff are extremely dedicated. However, the school constantly struggles to keep kids in school against the distractions of drugs, gangs and teenage pregnancy. $20000 could truly be the difference between a kid dropping out of high school and finishing high school, maybe even going to college to become a productive member of society.

I am a graduate from Orange and I plan on on returning there as a teacher. The teachers are amazing and always willing to help the student as much as he or she needs. The athletics are great. School spirit is really big. The school is small so it's a close-knit community. Everyone's friendly and it's a very comfortable environment. In college I noticed that I was better prepared and disciplined. The AP classes offered at Orange are endless and there's classes to please everyone's interest; the best part is, is that they add new ones each year. I just can't wait to be back there.

I'm not really sure you want to hear what I have to say because 'at best', I rate this school in the negative. Making a long story short, I am now homeschooling my children rather than send them to Orange High School. In the two years that my son attended this school ( He has ADHD and is bipolar ) there was ONLY one teacher that seemed to actually care about his well being.
